2-11 Purge the Gas Supply Line Before PC100 Series Installation

Before operating the PC100 Series, the gas supply line must be completely

purged with nitrogen or argon to ensure the line is free from toxic or

flammable gases, contaminants, moisture, and oxygen. The purge gas

must be free of moisture and oxygen to less than 100 ppb. Purge the gas

lines as follows or in accordance to prescribed company and safety

procedures.

1. Shut off the process gas supply valve(s) upstream of the PC100 Series.

If such a valve is not available, shut the valve on the gas panel. Tag the

valve at this point to prevent accidental re-exposure of the process gas

to the gas line.

2. Cycle purge the gas line with dry nitrogen or argon to fully flush out the

process gas. Cycle purging consists of evacuating to a low pressure

adequate to induce out-gassing and then purging to remove adhered

moisture and oxygen. If a toxic or reactive gas is present and a clogged

PC100 Series is suspected, then proceed with caution. Pump down

and purge the PC100 Series from both downstream and upstream

lines. If check valves are present in the gas line, both pumping down

and purging are required. Pumping down without purging is inadequate.

If a good vacuum source is not available, the PC100 Series can be de-

contaminated by purge only.

3. Repeat the purge cycle several times within 2-4 hours to complete the

cleaning. For toxic and corrosive gasses, it is recommended to use

100-120 cycles.

2-12 Position and Mount the PC100 Series

Position the PC100 Series so that the gas flow is pointed in the direction of

the flow arrow on the PC100 Series rear S/N label. The various mounting

positions for UPSTREAM applications are described in Figure 2-2, and the

mounting positions for DOWNSTREAM applications are described in

Figure 2-3.

The standard orientation for the PC100 Series is Horizontal Base Down (HBD).

The PC100 Series is configured with ¼" VCR fittings, secure the PC100

Series block to the gas panel with two, 8-32-UNC-2B" screws. Then

connect the inlet/ outlet fittings to the gas supply line using two

wrenches. Tighten the fittings to manufacturer recommendations.

2-13 Perform a Leak Test

It is critical to leak test the gas supply lines and PC100 Series connections

before turning on the process gas supply after any new installation. Check

for leaks using a helium leak detector or any other appropriate leak test

method. Follow leak test specifications as defined by integrator.

2-14 Zeroing the PC100 Series - Setup

The PC100 Series pressure transducer and flow meter zeroing process is

performed from the backlight LCD display on top of the PC100 Series.

OEM tools using a microprocessor or computer for operating the PC100

Series should sequence the PC100 Series off between processes. To

accomplish this, simply provide a zero set point. The PC100 Series will

shut off automatically.

Shut-off valves, whether upstream or downstream from the PC100 Series,

should be programmed to turn on before the PC100 Series is turned on

and turned off after the PC100 Series is turned off.

The following steps are required before the PC100 Series is zeroed.

1. Make sure that the PC100 Series has been installed inside the

equipment (panel) for at least four hours and powered up at least one

hour prior to zeroing. This insures that the PC100 Series is in its "use

attitude" and is operating at normal temperature. If the PC100 Series is

subjected to a vacuum purge for more than one minute, turn off the

PC100 Series (ie., provide a zero setpoint) for a time period of twice the

vacuum purge time.

2. Read the output signal of the PC100 Series. This output signal is the

initial flow in percent of full scale. The output signal should be 0.0 (±

0.1%). If the output signal is too high, re-zero the PC100 Series as

described below.

1. Place the PC100 Series under a strong vacuum with the PC100

Series set to 100% set point. Make sure that upstream valve is

closed and the downstream valve is open. Allow time for the

upstream pressure to bleed off.
